If you go see "LOOPER," the new Bruce Willis/Joseph Gordon-Levitt film that premieres today, you'll hear some sounds straight from Savannah.

Local musician Judson Crane played a role in making the Sony Pictures action flick's critically acclaimed soundtrack.

"I own a somewhat rare instrument called the celeste that is featured in the score," says Crane, who moved to the Coastal Empire from New York three years ago. "The composer tapped me to perform and record all the celeste parts. I'm told the whole movie actually ends with a solo celeste performance by yours truly, so that's cool!

"I have a studio in my house on Skidaway where I recorded the parts for the score."

Judson, a graduate of Boston's Berklee College of Music, says he purchased his American-made, 1940s celeste in California and brought it with him to Savannah. The instrument, which looks like an upright piano, is similar in sound to a glockenspiel. Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" notably features one.

"LOOPER," scored by Nathan Johnson, is Judson's first major foray into motion picture soundtracks.

"I've really just lived in the world of advertising most of my career," Judson says. "I've done some odds and ends in other films, but usually a bit of arranging and/or pre-production. I helped the same composer a bit actually on Rian Johnson's last film 'The Brother's Bloom.' The opening cue to that film has a bit of my touch in it."
